Warning

UBL-CR-614: Item attributes should not have a list value

In short

Warning: worth checking.

UBL-CR-614 means an item attribute on a line contains cbc:ListValue, which EN 16931 does not use. Put any values you need to retain in the plain text attribute value (BT-161) and remove cbc:ListValue.

On this page

What it means

An item attribute (BG-32) has a value (BT-161) in plain text. This rule checks that the attribute has no cbc:ListValue element inside cac:AdditionalItemProperty. It looks at every line of the invoice or credit note.

Why it matters

EN 16931 uses cbc:Value for the text attribute value, not the separate cbc:ListValue element.

How to fix it

Write any values you need to retain in cbc:Value. Delete cbc:ListValue from cac:AdditionalItemProperty under cac:Item on every affected invoice line or credit note line. Check the corrected file again.
